"Their inward gazing rage chokes them as they breathe in the thick swamp, unable to speak as their mouths are full of mire." Such a pitch perfect description of the toll of bitterness and long held grudges. Thank you as always for your insights into each Canto.

Yes! In the next canto (already out), there’s a perfect passage that captures this truthβ€”when we fixate on anger or sorrow, we become trapped in the past. Time moves forward, life continues, but we fall out of sync with it.

Anger. In these days of war, pandemics (plandemics?, biowar?), oligarch politics, I can see and work on my external anger's manifestations. This section has awakened a deeper appreciation of the internally directed sullenness I harbor and my need to direct more attention to this aspect simmering in my heart, and murmuring in my head.

Thank you for this subtle pointing instruction.

Also, really enjoy your recorded dialogs. There is a tone to your voice that suggest inspiration from 'The Good':)
